Yes, it's the "Ibong Adarna" but no, not in the Kingdom of Berbania. This strikingly beautiful bird was captured in the tropical forest of Mt. Apo. This bird in astonishing hues is the 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐨𝐧 (𝐻𝑎𝑟𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑠), one of the radiant birds that we can possibly lay our eyes on. While the male Philippine Trogon displays bright colors, the female ones possess subdued shades of mustard-yellow underparts and an olive-brown head. They feed on insects and fruits and shelters on tree hollows. Being reluctant to people, they found bliss in the darker portions of our forests. This elusive, long-tailed avian is endemic to our country and is associated to the famous lore “Ibong Adarna” as this 1941-film’s central figure. Please help protect and preserve these legends.
